General Discussion

Republicans are fed lies about imaginary conspiracies and then look for evidence to confirm those theories.

Democrats see evidence and then investigate and try to explain the evidence.

The first approach starts with a conspiracy theory and then interprets all evidence based on the theory. Facts that don't fit the theory are dismissed or denied.

The second approach starts with observations of objective reality and then works toward a theory with further observation and testing. When facts contradict the theory it is the theory that is then altered or abandoned, not the facts.
